Chapter 226 Are you sure you don’t want to try?

Hou Lin slowly told Yi Hongyao's history of making a fortune. Yi Yang listened very seriously. During the process, he did not speak out. Whenever Hou Lin told a little story, his father's image became clearer.

Yi Hongyao's history of making a fortune originated from a construction company.

He came to Hanning City at a young age. At that time, Hanning City was developing urban everywhere and opportunities everywhere. He worked with a construction company for a while and roughly figured out the entire process of the operation of the construction company. Finally, he summarized a truth by himself: if you want to make money through construction, it does not depend on how high your company's architectural design ability is, how good the migrant workers under your command are to repair houses. If you really want to make money, you can summarize it in just two words: project.

As long as someone is willing to do the project for you, you will have the expected income. As long as you have income...even if it is expected, you can recruit people. Not only can others work for you, but also various downstream suppliers will be willing to work for you.

But whether you can get a project is positively related to your own strength. How can a poor and innocent person get a project?

Hou Lin said that when they first met Yi Hongyao, they didn't even have an office space, but Yi Hongyao was capable and made a group of people willingly follow him.

At that time, Hou Lin was the best executor because of his down-to-earth work. Lu Dingsheng, who had just graduated from college, was a top student with a background in architecture. He became the technical backbone of the team and the dog-headed military advisor. The two of them also became Yi Hongyao's original team.

At that time, there were many construction sites in Hanning City, and there were naturally many opportunities. Moreover, information was not as developed as it is now. Information asymmetry was really asymmetry. With its unique vision, Yi Hongyao did not think about competing with other construction companies for some construction work, but instead focused his attention on the first-level land development market.

"Land development is mainly divided into two types, namely first-level development and second-level development. What is first-level development? Here comes the concept of mature land. Raw land means land that cannot be built directly on it, such as in the wilderness, old and dilapidated land that are to be demolished in urban villages...and mature land means land that can be used to build houses directly."

Yi Yang thought for a while and said, "Oh, first-level development is rough processing of land."

Hou Lin glanced at Yi Yang, "That's right."

"Building communities and shopping malls on a land is called secondary development. If uneven land is flattened, some old and dilapidated land will be demolished, and raw land will be turned into mature land. These are first-level developments."

"At that time, we didn't have the concept of second-level and first-level development. For construction companies, second-level development is definitely more profitable, but doing second-level development is to follow large real estate companies to eat meat and drink soup. People will do construction sites for you, depending on the cost and strength. We can't compete with those large construction companies at all."

"But Brother Hong Yao didn't focus on those secondary development projects at the beginning."

"Although he is not well educated, he loves to read newspapers. One day he saw a news report about the later famous 831 new regulations."

"The most important one is that after the new policy, the government's land must be bid for real estate companies through open and transparent bidding..."

Hou Lin smiled bitterly: "To be honest, many people in the real estate industry gradually came out the information behind this new rule many years later, but at that time everyone only saw the first floor on the surface, and just felt that those small real estate companies were going to be sad... Because if they only rely on their strength to bid, the bigger the company can get better land, and the larger the size, while small companies cannot get good land, which is getting more and more difficult..."

"But Brother Hong Yao was very excited. He said this means that the land price is about to start to rise!"

Hou Lin shrugged: "To be honest, I still can't figure out why Brother Hong Yao concluded that land prices will rise."

"But what are the benefits for us if land prices are about to rise?" Hou Lin's expression became pious and admired: "This has to be said that my elder brother's vision is far beyond the times."

"Brother said that rising land prices are government-led behaviors. The ultimate goal of such policy-based things is to return to the financial attributes. To put it bluntly, the government must have funds to develop the economy, but when land prices rise, how can it bring income to the government?"

Yi Yang smiled: "Selling land..."

Hou Lin glanced at Yi Yang in surprise. He was afraid that Yi Yang would not understand what he said, but he didn't expect that he could understand the key point at once. It was indeed... the best place for the young?

Hou Lin nodded and said, "Yes, it's just selling land. So what does selling land have to do with small construction companies like us?"

Yi Yang was also very curious, what did it have to do with them?

Hou Lin said with admiration: "Brother said that the government wants to sell land, but where does the land come from? Many people think that the land belongs to the government. In fact, most of the familiar land in Hanning City was in the hands of some real estate companies at that time, and the land in the government was not even as much as the land in the hands of the top three real estate companies in Hanning City at that time."

Yi Yang thought about it and understood, and continued: "But the government has a real estate company that can never compare with, that is, to turn raw land into mature land. At that time, from the Third Ring Road of Hanning City, there were large areas of undeveloped wasteland, as well as many former private buildings... These lands were developed and taken away by the government, and the government had enough land in its hands..."

Hou Lin showed a surprised expression. He really didn't expect Yi Yang to have such insights and nodded: "Yes, that's right. At that time, the eldest brother said firmly that the government was going to start hoarding land, so he set his sights on the first-level development market from the beginning."

"By the vision of being ahead of us, we became the first batch of companies specializing in first-level development. At that time, the government also knew that the earlier the time, the better, because every time we delayed, the higher the land price, the higher the cost. The later we went, the more difficult it would be to demolish it."

"So we didn't have many competitors at that time, and the government approved projects quickly. Soon we got a few projects and made our first pot of gold."

Hou Lin took a sip of tea, shook his head, and sighed: "To be honest, if it weren't for the incident later, under the helm of the elder brother, the company would have definitely been able to go to a higher level."

Yi Yang also smiled sadly, yes, it sounds like he might have become Wang Sicong from Hanning City, haha.

Seeing that it was getting late, Hou Lin looked at his watch and said, "Let's go here today. There are many stories about your father. I will come to see you often in the future and tell you slowly. Next time I will take you to my house to sit down. I have a daughter who is about the same age as you. Her grades are much worse than you. Please give me some advice on her learning."

Yi Yang nodded: "Okay Uncle Hou."

This call of Uncle Hu is obviously much easier.

Hou Lin also felt the difference, smiled with relief, nodded, paid, and the two left the teahouse together.

There was a black Mercedes-Benz in the parking lot. Hou Lin pointed and said, "That car is mine. Where are you going next? I'll give it to you."

Yi Yang was not very surprised. After all, Hou Lin is a boss...

It's not surprising to have a car like this.

After thinking about it, Yi Yang was not polite and said, "If I go back to school, I will trouble Uncle Hou."

Hou Lin shook his head: "Look at what you said, get in the car."

After getting into the car, Hou Lin sighed and said, "Don't look at it as a Mercedes-Benz, in fact, if I didn't do business, I wouldn't want to buy it at all."

Yi Yang's eyes moved, and then he understood what Hou Lin meant.

For some people who do business, luxury cars are actually not for enjoyment, but for the sake of supporting the storefront. They can negotiate a 5 million business by driving a 5 million car. If they drive a 100,000 car, they won’t even think you are qualified to talk to yourself.

However, Hou Lin did not intend to talk to Yi Yang about these reasons, starting the car, gently stepping on the accelerator, and the car drove forward slowly... From the way a man stepped on the accelerator, the man's character could probably be seen.

Yi Yang could not feel the jerk of the car's fuel supply at all.

...

Yi Yang had just returned to the dormitory and pushed open the door. Zhou Xiang was doing the exam.

Zhou Xiang has a place to live in Hanning City. When the school started, Zhou Xiang's security father sent him to the school. Yi Yang knew him, but for everyone he knew later, Zhou Xiang had never mentioned his father's profession. Someone even asked him on his own initiative, and he just answered vaguely, working in a certain place in Hanning City.

Of course, Yi Yang knew why Zhou wanted to do this, but he would not take the initiative to expose anything. Perhaps it was because of this reason. Every time Zhou Xiang chatted with his family, he would not deliberately avoid himself. Perhaps for Zhou Xiang, he was a farmer-born person, and he was the same type of person.

After saying hello, Zhou thought about something, took off his headphones and said, "By the way, Yi Yang, Teacher Shen came to find you just now."

"Teacher Shen?" Yi Yang was a little surprised.

Teacher Shen is their class teacher, but the key class is different from the former Qinghe County No. 2 Middle School. The class owners of Normal University Affiliated Middle School rarely care about life. Although Teacher Shen is the nominal class teacher, his presence seems to be as strong as Liu Donghong at the time.

Today is the weekend. What will happen to Teacher Shen asks me for?

Yi Yang asked: "Did Teacher Shen say anything else?"

Zhou Xiang said: "Teacher Shen asked you to come back before 5:30, if you come back, you can go to the office to find her, where she will be waiting for you."

Yi Yang looked at the time and nodded at four o'clock, "Thank you, my buddy."

"You're welcome."

However, although Yi Yang is not a top student in this school, the tasks assigned by the teacher are meticulously completed. Apart from debates and sports meetings, they have not overestimated themselves, so there is no need to worry about the teacher asking him to criticize or something.

Just very calm...

The reason why I have these messy thoughts is that when Yi Yang was called by his class teacher in his previous life, he was because he had caused trouble.

When I arrived at the office, there was only Teacher Chen Xiaoding in the office. She was small and still had the Hualou Taro hairstyle she had just met, and was writing something very focused.

Yi Yang knocked on the door lightly.

Chen Xiaoding looked up and saw that it was Yi Yang clearly, and smiled, "Yi Yang? Come in."

When Yi Yang saw this smile, he knew that Chen Xiaoding came over to him at least not a bad thing.

Chen Xiaoding put down what he did, Yi Yang took a look and saw that she was writing instructions for the original book of Dream of Red Mansions.

Chen Xiaoding looked Yi Yang up and down, showed a thoughtful expression, and said, "I just told you directly that it was because Teacher Gao came over to find me."

"Teacher Gao?" Yi Yang's expression moved slightly.

There are not many teachers named Gao in this school, so the only one who has an intersection with him is naturally Gao Runxiang.

Chen Xiaoding continued: "Teacher Gao wants to invite you to join the school basketball team, I want to hear your ideas."

Yi Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "To be honest, Teacher Shen, I haven't considered it well yet."

Chen Xiaoding nodded slightly and continued to ask: "That is, are you worried?"

Yi Yang didn't expect that Chen Xiaoding directly interpreted "not considering it well" as "having concerns", but he nodded: "That's right."

Chen Xiaoding thought for a while and said, "Can you talk about your concerns?"

Yi Yang was silent for a moment, and did not answer directly, but asked back: "Teacher Shen, to be honest, I don't know very well whether I should participate. Do you have any suggestions?"

Chen Xiaoding smiled and said simply: "I suggest you? If I suggest you, do you still need to consider it? Of course you have to participate!"

"Well……"

"The school attaches great importance to basketball in our school. As far as I know, there are not many high schools that value this. Those who can give names are all high schools in the country, such as Tsinghua High School and SJZ No. 2 Middle School... If you join our school team, you should have a lot of fun."

"Have fun playing...have fun?"

"Haha, just kidding." Seeing Yi Yang so serious, Chen Xiaoding said a little more serious and said seriously: "Okay, then I'll analyze it carefully for you."

"I can probably guess your concern is nothing more than that, your idea is that you want to go through culture and worry that playing basketball will delay learning, right?"

Yi Yang hesitated for a moment and nodded. This was indeed what he was most worried about.

Chen Xiaoding shook his head and said, "Actually, you think so completely wrong. Strictly speaking, playing basketball in the first year of high school will not affect your main line of cultural learning. You are not that nervous at first and second year of high school. Even if you don't play basketball, there will still be many things to occupy your extracurricular life."

"Next, let's analyze what your purpose is to study hard?" After a pause, Chen Xiaoding said: "I think... well, except for a few people, it probably is for the purpose of getting into a good university, right?"

"As far as I know, there are only a few dozen universities that are qualified to recruit high-level athletes in basketball, which can be almost equivalent to the top dozens of prestigious schools in the country."

"Next to say the most important point, you don't need to play basketball for three years!"

"That's what I think. If you can really follow the team to get the first few in the National High School Basketball League this semester to March next semester, and even be awarded a national first-class certificate... According to the college high-level athlete examination enrollment method, you can apply for high-level athletes when you graduate. Even if you don't register for this and follow a normal culture, you can get extra points. How many points will you get? 50, it seems to be 50." After a pause, Chen Xiaoding continued: "And you only need to spend one semester! Do you know that many sports students in our school can't get in!"

"If you don't get a ranking this year, go back and continue to study, just say that, one, no, no, impact!"

"If I were you, I would definitely spend less than a semester to bet a bet. If you win, it would be equivalent to one foot entering the threshold of top universities in the country. If you lose the bet, the worst result would be nothing more than wasting several months of spare time to play."

"Thinking of this, it shouldn't be a loss."

After a pause, Chen Xiaoding smiled and said, "When I was in high school, there was a classmate who was admitted to the University of Science and Technology of China in the first year of high school. Do you know how he spent the next two years? He just gave the class to the class, took the time to take a driver's license and acted as a tutor for a little kid. In theory, he could even squat at home. When we were working hard in the school for the third year of high school, we were so stressed that we lost a lot of hair. But he came to school to write papers every day, saying that he wanted to advance and retreat with his classmates and cherish the time he spent with everyone, but I think he was here to anger us, and it made people feel itchy."

"If you can really lead our school to the finals, although it will not be like my classmate who submitted it, your study will become very relaxed next..." Chen Xiaoding showed a seductive expression and said, "Very, relaxed!"

"Are you sure you don't want to try?"
